Safety Guidelines	All staff will wear face coverings. We wear face-coverings to keep our students in school! Please be a community helper and teach your child to wear a face covering. Being a role model for your child will save lives and keep our students in school! Face coverings, social distancing, and use of hand sanitizer when you arrive will be expected and is required.
